CASE FOR EYEGLASSES OR SPECTACLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 683,417, datedSeptember 24, 1901.

Application led May 6, 1901. 'Serial No. 58,944. (No model.) i

A tion.

The present invention relates to a case in which two pairs of eyeglassesor two pairsof spectacles or one pair of eyeglasses and one pair ofspectacles may be carried; and its object is to so construct the casethat its size will be reduced to a minimum.

To this end I construct the case of two similar sections hingedtogether, and I provide each of these sections with a pocket or otherdevice for receiving a pair of glasses, the pocket of one section beingat the side adjacent to the hinge, while the pocket of the other sectionis at the side remote from the hinge, and it is in this, broadly stated,that.

the invention resides.

In the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification,Figure l is a plan View of a case embodying the invention, the casebeing shown open and with two pairs of eyeglasses in place therein. Fig.2 is a transverse section thereof.

The case comprises two similar sections A, hinged together at B and eachhaving a pocket or other device C for receiving and holding a pair ofeyeglasses or spectacles. The pocket of one section of the case islocated at the side adjacent to the hinge, while the pocket of the othersection is located at the side remote from the hinge, so that thebridges of two pairs of spectacles (or the guards of two pairs ofeyeglasses) when in place therein will fall upon opposite sides of thecentral line of the'case.

The walls of each section of the case are graduated in height, beingshallower at the pocket side than at the opposite side, so that in theabove-described arrangement of the pockets the high wall of one sectionis hinged to the low wall of the other section. The object of this is tomake each section a complete carrier for a pair of glasses, with wallsat al1 points only as high as need be, and at 5o at the side thereofadjacent to the hinge and 6o the said means of the other section beinglocated at the side thereof remote from the hinge, substantially asdescribed.

2. A case for glasses comprising two sections hinged together, each ofsaid sections having means for holding a pair of glasses, the said meansof one section being located at the side thereof adjacent to the hingeand the said means of the other section being located at the sidethereof remote from the hinge, the walls of each section being graduatedin height,the lower wall of one section and the higher wall of the othersection being located at the hinge, substantially as described.

3. A case for glasses comprising two sections hinged together, each ofsaid sections having at one side a pocket for holding a pair of glasses,the pocket of one section being located at the side adjacent to thehinge and 8o the pocket of the other section being located at the sideremote from the hinge, substantially as described.
